If you are looking for books published before 1924, check Google Books. More than 100,000 books free of copyright are available full-text and can be downloaded as pdfs. Plus you can search through the entire text to find the information you seek.
The Advanced Book Search provides options to search for specific titles, authors and keywords and to limit your search by fulltext availability (full view only) and publication date.
Current books and books still in copyright are not available full-text but you can usually use the search feature to pinpoint the pages you might need. Then search the UW Libraries to find a copy of the printed book.
